How our taco bar hire works in Bursledon
Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you in advance. It suits barn and marquee parties and wedding day food, with guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls.
In and around Bursledon, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
About the menu
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Common questions in Bursledon
Which station is closest to Bursledon?
Bursledon station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
